SAMMONS CABARET

WT GREER

Thursday, April 17

7:30 PM

4

From San Diego to the White House, Europe to Africa, and from Australia to Asia, we are lucky that for the masterful artist that is WT Greer, Dallas is home. With a voice so brilliant that Oprah Winfrey once likened it to an ocean, WT is known far and wide for his rich tone, inspired crafting of melodies, and eloquent delivery of lyrics. Highly regarded in addition to performing for his wide range of expertise as a celebrated songwriter, a prolific commercial vocal talent, and a revered director of artist development, what may be Greer’s greatest skill is his gift for connection. His voice will go right to your heart as his moving performance reaches out and touches everyone in the audience.  

This concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Kurth Hall; doors open at 7:00 p.m.

Musketeers, Amigos, Stooges, and more… the best things in life come in threes. Blending together the comedic flair of Jodi Crawford Wright, the compelling theatrics of Andrea Fernandez Tom, and the virtuosic vocals of Andy Zapata, this terrific trio promises to mix up one intoxicating cabaret concoction as their talents combine! While the Sammons Center has previously experienced the offerings of Wright’s multifaceted talent, we will get a taste of Zapata and Tom as they join her for their first ever full-length Sammons Cabaret show. None are strangers to the stage, and they can each regularly be seen performing in local theater and solo productions. Each is known for serving up their vocal prowess and entertaining audiences with their engaging styles.   

This concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Kurth Hall; doors open at 7:00 p.m.
